I have worked with Dr. Shadi in a professional capacity, caring mutually for multiple patients. He is highly knowledgeable, dedicated to the care of his patients, and is always concerned. He has also provided care to my family members and was always available.

Dr. Shadi is an excellent physician. He has taken care of my patients and my father’s patients for over a decade and I found his care to be excellent. He was well informed on our mutual patients and he would address their issues expeditiously. I strongly support Dr. Shadi to remain on staff at cedars sinai.

Extremely caring and attentive physician. Shame on the practice of using sham Peer Review's against private practice physicians, while ignoring and covering up severe complications and patient deaths caused by their hospital employed physicians and department chairs.

I was a patient of Dr. Shadi’s for a few years and he always took great care of me. He was always compassionate and understanding. I know he is well respected by other doctors at Cedars and always treated the nurses with respect. He was a big part of Cedars and should be back at Cedars again.

He is simply the best Internist and point person for all of my Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery patients. I don’t trust any other provider to take care of my patients. He is ethical, caring, and dedicated to his patients.

Dr. Shadi has been an amazing physician to my mom & a source of comfort & hope for our family. Every time my mother has been at Cedars, he has been there for her. Dr. Shadi is more than an amazing physician, he is compassionate, dedicated, & genuinely cares about his patients. Our family has trusted Dr. Shadi with my mom’s life, time & time again, & we’ll always be grateful for the care he’s given her. Losing a doctor of Dr. Shadi’s caliber would be a tremendous loss for his patients & Cedars.

This is sad and it clearly shows that he’s a racist and we all know the 90% of Doctors are racist
